Directions to the Naples National Archeological Museum

To reach National Archaeological Museum in Naples, you can either drive or use the metro, although using the metro is strongly recommended. Take the Line 1 metro from Napoli Centrale and get off at Piazza Museo, which is the closest stop to the museum.

Parking is only reserved for those with disabilities at the Naples National Archaeological Museum. If you are driving within Naples, know that there are several Limited Traffic Zones within the city, which restrict the movement of private vehicles for environmental reasons. If you must drive, seek out paid parking lots like Parcheggio Brin or Parking Plebiscito to park your car safely. The best option, however, is to use public transport like metros and buses, or even walk.

While you can cycle to the museum, note that there are no docking stations within the museum to leave your bike. You can park in public spaces at your own risk. It is better to walk to the museum or take the metro.

While taxi stands are easily found in Naples and you can get a ride easily, it's best to negotiate the price beforehand as taxi drivers are infamous for charging tourists exorbitantly. If going by taxi is most convenient for you, try to see if your hotel can arrange one for you during the time of your stay (although this can work out to be quite expensive). Public transport (buses and metros) are the cheapest and most efficient transport option in Naples.

The best way to squeeze in some sightseeing while getting to the museum is by walking to it. You can take in the bustling streets and watch life lived by the locals unfold before you as you stroll to the museums. Depending on the route you take, you may pass the Capodimonte Museum, Castel Sant'Elmo and other popular Naples landmarks.
